Shrine Sacrifice



They destroy future forests
in burning cones of pine..
the Godcarved little
Shinto shrines.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

Footnote:
One factor in postwar starvation
in South Korea and ongoing
hunger in North Korea as well
is the cutting of trees for
firewood. The Sahara was created
by Roman empire deforestation for
ships.
